Learning objectives
The course has a double goal: to give, on one hand, an introduction to the general concepts of translation studies and to develop, on the other hand, the specific skills of interpretation and recoding of specialized texts and of audiovisual material.

Particular attention will be paid to strengthen the interlinguistic reformulation skills.
Expected learning outcomes
By the end of the course the student will be more aware of the main problems of the translation process in the field of specialized communication, both terminological and morphosyntactic and pragmatic, and will be able to overcome translation difficulties thanks to in-depth knowledge of translatological concepts and enhanced skills in use of various translation techniques.
